This is my culinary experiment of the week or something like that. It’s my barbecue beef cottage pie. It’s an easy-to-make concoction of sauteed onions, ground beef, barbecue sauce, mashed potatoes (made with potato flakes), and cheese. It turned out to be tasty. You could make it with ground turkey, ground chicken, or sausage if you prefer. It’s a good Tuesday night dinner.

We are all guilty of being busy and distracted in this hustle and bustle world. I am guilty of this too. When do we take time to wonder? Also, the world has become a hard place to live in. Perhaps if we looked to the stars or the oceans to reclaim a little of our humanity the world could be a better place.
Creation is a big place and it somehow puts our problems in perspective. If we don’t lose our sense of wonder perhaps we will be better people. As we go through this life may we work toward peace and reconcile with the people and problems that keep us in chaos.
Grace and peace to you all my friends.

Today is the first day of Summer in the northern hemisphere. It’s also National Selfie day so I’m recognizing both with just one picture.
To all the dads out there Happy Father’s Day. Being a father means a lot of different things these days. Some moms play the role of dads, and some fill the role of dad through adoption, marriage, and so many other ways. Enjoy this day good people.
